One name that quickly gained traction was that of Deion Sanders, the legendary former Cowboy player. With ties to the franchise and a growing reputation as a successful coach, Sanders seemed like a natural candidate.

Sanders reportedly express interest in both the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys openings, per multiple reports. Sanders confirmed he spoke with Jones to ESPN. However, the Cowboys are already in the process of interviewing candidates, having completed meetings with Robert Salah and Kellen Moore for the position.
